Kadan (Qadan)

Kadan was a son of Ögedei Khan by a concubine and a grandson of Genghis Khan, raised in Chagatai's ordo. He campaigned west with Batu, and in 1241 led a diversionary army through Poland, helping defeat the Silesians at Legnica.

He then ravaged Moravia and Hungary, sacking Buda and pursuing Béla IV into Croatia and Dalmatia until Ögedei's death recalled the Mongols in 1242. He backed Möngke's election in 1251 and later supported Kublai against Ariq Böke, holding his appanage around Beshbalik.
